For #InternationalWomensDay, we reunited with the crew of the award-winning documentary Swim Sistas to talk about the women who raised us, the icons who paved the way, and the power of community in the water.

We caught up with Swim Sista’s filmmaker, @catjoywhite , and some of the Swim Sistas sisterhood to discuss the motivation and inspiration behind the film and the barriers faced by Black adults who don’t swim.

Drawing on her connection with open water, @catjoywhite wanted to explore the Black female experience of swimming, womanhood, reconnection, and freedom.
And so Swim Sistas was born.

This is Woman Life Freedom 💚🤍❤️
I cannot overstate how dangerous and brave this young girl’s act of protest was today.
Her whereabouts are currently unknown.
May she, and the great people of Iran, be free of the Islamic Republic soon.

In Iran, a woman who was accosted by the “morality police” for not wearing hijab removes her clothing & roams the streets in defiance. She has since been arrested by IRGC forces and forcibly disappeared. This is the brave face of true resistance.

I spoke on the future of gender equality and how, in a time of global uncertainty, we can cultivate a more inclusive, sustainable and peaceful future by bringing gender equality into consideration.

@GWRHelp please can you thank your lovely staff: Ben on the last train from Swansea to London on Fri 13th Sept. He went above & beyond to help me and my sister (not realising we were travelling back from our grandma’s funeral & that kindness meant so much)🤍
